Samsung Hummingbird in New Species

Samsung is promoting the new LED Series 7 television with a television commercial airing worldwide, featuring an animated hummingbird and the new Ultra Slim LED 7.

The commercial opens on a verdant forest scene and follows a brightly-coloured hummingbird, whose outline is tipped with glowing LED points, as it flits among flowers that bloom into vivid colours and open to revel tiny electronic lights. Click on the image below to play the video in YouTube
